Installation
MKG Series Gas Griddle
WARNING
NEVER supply the appliance with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate. Using the incorrect gas type will cause improper operation. If you need to convert the appliance to another type of fuel, contact your dealer.
1.3.1.Fuel Type(s)
Each appliance is equipped to work with one type of fuel. The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended to operate is stamped on the data plate, see Figure 1.
CAUTION
NEVER use an adapter to make a smaller gas supply line fit the cooker connection. This may not allow proper gas flow for the optimum burner operation, resulting in poor cooking performance.
1.3.2.Quick Disconnect Connection
Gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69.CSA 6.16 Latest Edition. This connection should include a quick disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel ANSI Z221.41.CSA 6.9 Latest Edition. When installing a quick disconnect you must also install a means for limiting the movement of the appliance. This device will prevent the gas line or the quick disconnects from being strained. The restraining device should be attached to the appliance at the back panel.
1.3.3.Fuel Supply Line and Leak Pressure Testing
The fuel supply system must be tested before the appliance is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure greater than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPA), make sure that the appliance is disconnected from fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPA), the appliance can be connected, but the unit’s gas valve must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks with a solution of soap and water when pressure is applied.
1.4.Ventilation And Fire Safety Systems
Your new gas appliance must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high as 1000°F (538 °C). Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning of the ventilation system and the appliance will reduce the chances of fire. Table
Excessive ventilation causes drafts, which will interfere with the proper operation of the pilot and the burner. Leave at least 18 inches of open space between the appliance’s flue vent opening and the intake of the exhaust hood.
CAUTION
Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the appliance’s flue opening. Down drafts will not allow the appliance to exhaust properly and will cause overheating which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will not be covered under equipment warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting the appliance flue. DO NOT put anything on the top of the flue area.
CAUTION
NEVER connect the blower directly to the flue opening(s). The direct flow of air will cause poor
temperature recovery, poor ignition, and inefficient operation of the appliance and could
extinguish the pilot(s).
1.5. Installation Setup
The installation of this appliance MUST conform to local codes. In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1; Natural Gas Installation Code,
To Start uncrate appliance and locate installation accessories shipped with the appliance.
